ST. PAUL'S CATHOLIC CHURCH 



In 184S ground was broken for the 
erection of St. Paul's Catholic Church. 
The organization was effected early 
In 1825, Vicksburg being then a vil- 
lage. 

In the year 1860 Rt. Rev. \Vm. H. 
Elder, Bishop of Natchez, Miss., ap- 
plied to the Sisters of Mercy of Bal- 
timore, Md., for a foundation of their 
order to conduct a school in the city 
of Vicksburg. On the 9th of October 
of the same year four professed Sis- 
ters and two young ladies, under the 
charge of Rev. Mother M. de Sales 
Browne, who had been appointed 
Mother Superior of the new commu- 
nity, left Baltimore, accompanied by 
Ver.v Rev. F. X. Leray, pastor of 
Vicksburg. 

On October 11th, 1860, the Sisters 
obtained a charter of incorporation 
under the title of Sisters of Mercy of 
Vicksburg, with power to maipt.tin 
an Academy and free school. 

The Civil War having broken out 
this year, the Federals came in May, 
1862, to beseige the city. The school 
was closed and the rooms turned in- 
to hospital wards for the sick and 
wounded soldiers whom the Sisters 
nursed. A government hospital hav- 
ing been established at Mississippi 
Springs, the Sisters were requested 
to take charge of it. They left 
Vicksburg on June 17th and the Con- 
vent was closed until the Federals 
captured the city, when it was taken 
and used by them for military pur- 
poses. 

On their return to Vicksburg the 
Sisters found their Convent practically 
in ruins and had it not been for the 
help of the good people of the city 
they would not have been able to 
restore the property in time to begin 
school September 12th of that year. 
Peace having been declared, the 
four Sisters who had remained at the 
hospital at Shelby Springs, returned 
to help with the regular work. 

The school having increased, it was 
found necessary to erect a new Con- 
vent, the old one being used for 
school rooms. The cornerstone was 
laid on August 2, 1868, and the build- 
ing finished February 1, 1870. Al- 
though the old Convent had been 
called St. Catherine's, the new one 
was placed under the patronage of 
St. Francis Xavier. The present 
Academy was erected in 1SS5 on the 
lot at the corner of Cherry and 
Crawford streets. 

THE BAPTIST CHURCH 



This church is closely woven into 
Vlcksburg's history. For many years 
there were two buildings of worship 
for that denomination. Now the 
commodious edifice on the corner of 
Crawford and Walnut streets num- 
bers its faithful workers in hundreds.

OREa»E MYRTI/E. 



(Lines from a gifted Vicksburg wo- 
man of former years — Margarei

Outside a wave of blushing bloom, 
Throws a pinlt brightness in the 

room, 
And breaks in rosy manteled foam 
About the portals of our home. 
Whispers of soft, sweet bloomy ways 
Of sleepy rivers and dreamy days. 

Jieside.this window, you and I 
Watched that pink glow against the 

sky; 
A cameo cut in vivid hue 
Against a cool background of blue; 
A cloud of color soft and deep, 
As flush of a dreaming child asleep. 
And love, we breathed our earliest 

vows, 
Beneath the ibloom-ibent myrtli 

bough.s.

Mrs. Maria I. Johnston, lecturer 
of Ancient and Modern History, 
leader of the Chart Clulb, the ar- 
rangement of which was to tell th? 
story of si.\ty centuries — author of 
books, was a Vicksburg woman, 
being the eldest daughter of the late 
Judge Richard Barnett. Mrs. John- 
«on remen*ered vividly the visit of 
Henry Clay, who came to Vick.sburg 
IS a guest of S. S. Prentiss in 18-48. 



That was during the former's presi- 
dential campaign. Mrs. Johnson's 
first, and by many considered hei 
best book, was "The Siege of Vicks- 
burg." This highly intellectual 
Vicksburger lived many years in St. 
Louis. Five years ago her friends, 
children and grandchildren of the 
associates of her youth, welcomc-d 
her for a home visit.

THE N.4TIONAIi MIIvITARY PARK 



Dear Sir: 

The National Military Park ai.>- 
thorized by congress and established 
under direction of the Secretary of 
War, recalls a time of utmost trial 
and commemorate the spirit in 
which our people. North and South, 
faced the demands then made on 
their courage and constancy; the.v 
are indeed memorials to American 
manhood. 

Devotion to duty and courageous 
enshrined in enduring records and 
^nchrined in enduring records and 
monuments on each of "these parks. 
The example of the soldiers. Union 
and Confederate, commemorated by 
them is a call to duty. cl"ar and 
compellipj as bugles that blow for 
'battle. This call was heard^ Ii 
France at Belleau Woods, in the 



Argone Forest, and in front of th^ 
Hindenburif line. 

Th^- appeal of this example knows 
no North, no South, only a generous 
rivaltry to be worthy of honored 
forefathers; it will be ag enduring 
.L3 the bronze and granite memorials 
in the Vicksburg Park, which offers 
your State an opportunity to honor 
th? memory of her soldiers engaged 
in the operations that it commemo- 
rates. 

Sincerely yours, 

WM. T. RIGBY, 
Chairman of Commission.

Proclaims a soldier gone afair, 
To battle in the world's great war. 
Though sore beset by trap of hell. 
Though bathed in blood from shot

My son through all — (I know it well) 

Is worthy. God. of me. 
And I, bereft, who kneel in prayer. 
Beseeching Heaven's tender care. 
To guard my laddie "over there,"

Oh. Father, may I also pray. 
That I in highest living may

Years ago the writer heiird an old 
gentleman teM of attending a ban- 
(|utt in N'.w- Orleans at which Sar- 
geant S. I'rentiss delivered an ex- 
temporaneous address on the defeat 
of Henry Clay for the Presidency. | 
As nearly as the old gentleman'.-* i 
words can be recalled they are qu"' 
ed: 

"I was sitting in the banquoi 
chamber talking with a fri nd when 
waves of applause shook the room, 
and looking toward the place whenc • i 
the shouting and hand-ciapping pro- 
ceeded. I saw two men of disting- | 
ulshi'd bearing approa^-h some one : 
who sat at the farther end of the 
long line of taibles. They addressed 
this man and he arcv^e with some 
difficulty to his feet. grasping the 
back of his chair with his left hand 
and supporting himself with a cane. 
which he held in his right, he turn- 
ed toward that crowd of noisy ban- 
queters a face on whleh delicacy and 
strength were t)lended and swept 
the assemblage wilh two blue eyes 
■which radiated the mefimerlsm of 
genius and the magic of human 
mastery. There was «tlllness as of 



death for a moment, and then the 
slender figure at the upi>er end of 
:he hall began to speak. 

"Uescrlbe It? Why. lui man ever 
born could describe the power and 
witchery of the eloquence 1 listened 
to from the man's lips on that au- 
tumn night. Five hundred men. 
ranging from twenty to seventy years 
and of nearly every riieial extrac-

"His slender form seemed to grow 
taller and expand as the grand and 
beautiful thoughts, clothed in words 
of wondrous cadence, rolled from 
his throat. He unloosed his clasp 
from the chair and discarded his 
eane before he had proceeded 



through half a dozen nentenceA. and

Anon It would sob like the south- 
wind through the magnolias; thrill 
like the strain of martial music or 
sink to the sweet cadence of a mo-

of her weeping child. 

"As the spell of the enchanter 
grew upon me, my will, my Intelli-

SOI Till. I'.X WOMAX WANTS A 
.MOMMKNT TO SLAVF-S 



J II the hearts of the mighty fallen 
cIllp ruoti-J the feeiins of inex- 

iiguishable gratilude to the loyal 
•slaves to whoso care the women and 
chi.dren were entrusted during the 
.entire period of the war between the 
states. It is a sentiment that still 
remains smouldering in the souls of 
those who owned them. To tho.3e 
slaves who watched the fireside, til!- 
■ d the soil, helped spin, weave and 
make raiment for the master and hi-s 
.son on the battlefield — to those 
slaves who protected and provided 
I'cir the families at home — is due a 
.uonunieiit that will tell the story to 
coming generations that canot be 
taught the lesson of self-sacrifice 
and devotion of the slave in any 
other way. If a time is ever ripe tor 
a noble d;ed. now is that time, for 
the grand, courteous southern slave- 
owner is fast pa.ssing a.way. and to 
erect the monument would be to 
hand down to posterity an open book 
in which our southern children can 
read of their devotion. 

Eroding this monument would In- 
r uence for good the present and 
coming generations and prove that 
ths people oC the south who owned 
, slaves valued and respected their 
good qualities a.s no one else ever 
did or will do. It would bespeak the 
I'eal conception of the affection of 
the owner toward the slave and I'e- 
fute the slander and falsehoods pub- 
'ish.ed in "Uncle Tom's Cabin." 

There did exist in the days of trial 
lid hardship not only a perfect un- 
derstanding, but the kindest sympa- 
thy, and to thousand.3 of plantations 
and homes where every white male 
on the place able to bear armsw'ould 
go to the battlefield. the heipiess 
families of women and ehi'dren were 
left entirely to the care and protec- 
tion of the trusted slaves. 

No one who was rocked to sleep 
I'V the sweet lullaljy of the faithful 
i)lack "mammy." listened to her 
weird ghost storie.'?, nursed at her 
breast or p;a.\ed around her cabin 
door, would ever be willing to have 
'liese tender memories die out. There 

the side of sentiment, the side of 
gratitude, that those who have felt 
the touch can never give up nor can 
they forget the debt due the faithful 
"10 .per cent of slaves that remained 
with their masters after freedom." 

Brect tlie monume^^ It will result 
I much fJTOod, aa it will tell future 
generations that the white men of 
the ■south were the negro's best 
friends then and that the men of the 
Fouth are the negro's best friend to- 
day. 

Instances portraying the fidelity of 
the slaves might be told to fill end- 
1 ss volumes and would recite the 
sweetest stories of heartfelt devotion, 
the most unselfish acts, prompted by 
'"ire love; self-fnrgetting. th^y would 

irifice comfort — -yea. even go hun- 

y — and wilb n smile serve thnse to 



whom they felt undying fealty. They 
could not express all they felt, 'nit 
for mammy's "girl" or "boy" the;, 
could work and suffer and teach i 
blessed lesson of endurance and glo- 
rifiej fortitude, for, as Miss Drom- 
goole so sweetly expresses it 
Her face is as black as ebon 

Wrinkled and seamed and old. 
But her heart, I know, is ibs white a^ 
.snow 

And true as the rarest gold. 

Her brown hands, old and feeble 

With the touch of passing year.--. 
Would banish each trace of oar. 
from my face 
And brush from my heart Lh. 
tears. 

Mammy and friend, 1 loved .13.-, 
Humble and all unfamed, 

But I love to trace in her love th. 
face 
That robber years have clai'.njl 

Her face is as black as ebon. 

Her soul as fair as the day. 
And her prayers, I know, wl'.crevr- 
I go 

Will follow. me all the WJV.

THE ELKS CLUR 



Th • Elk.s Club is one of our m-K-t 
'ir;iminent and succ:>ssful organiza- 
tions. Their building and grounds 
are among the most attra::tive in tho 
city, The memlbership, about 275, Is 
composed of manv of the city's most 
prominent cltiz?n.s. The memberTi, 
at all times, are ready to respond 
liiberally,^ tp any worthy cause. X.i 
appeal for charity, if worthy, is ever 
denied, but meets with a liberal con- 
tribution. Vicksburg is to be con- 
gratulated in having such an organ- 
ization as the Elks Club. The sik- 
ce.ss of the club is largely due to the 
efforts of the lat? A. M. Paxton, ■who 
'■as it's secretary for many years. 
They have recently purchased the 
adioinin? lot, which beautifies an 1 
enlarg-s their property. 

For a period extending mor> than 
nineteen years members of the Ell:s 
Club have giv-^n g.^nerous sums to- 
wards wonderfully planned Christ- 
mas trees for little ones, their oMor 
.■lifters and brothers, not having such 
bles^inrrs und°r par-»ntal roofs. Th ^ 
Mary Thompson Howe Circle of 
King's Daughters are the guardian^ 
and workers in this bemtiful benev- 
olence. Not only th'^ eitv's unfortu-

GHO.STS. 



Through the efforts and direction 
of Capt. Jno. H. Mtrry, of Manches- 
ter, Iowa, a meeting was held in this 
cit.v October, 1895, for the purposvi 
■ of taking the initiative in the maL- 
! ter of reviewing legi.slation by con- 
j gres.s authorizing the establishment 
of the Military Park. The bill for 
establishment of the park was pr - 
j sented to congress in 1S96 by Ge:-.- 
I eral T. C. Catchings, representing 
thi.s district in the house of repr-'- 
■tntatives. Through his forceful 
wovk and the united action of th.' 
a.sociation and veterans of both 
.iimies in all parts of the country the 
bill was passed by cangrsss in Peb- 
I ruary, 1899. In accordance with its 
provisions, on March 1st. the Secr^- 
I tary of War appointed Lieut. Gen. 
; Sti'iJhen D. Lee, of Mississippi; Capr. 
W T. Rigby, of Iowa; and Capt. 
Jame,3 G. Everest, of Illinois, com- 
missioners. As chairman General 
Lee resigned April. 1902. Capt. 
Rigib.v was then elected, and it 's 
gratifying to know that on Marcli, 
1922, the War Department designat- 
ed him rej,ident commissioner. At a 
meeting held March 15th. 1899, th-» 
Park outlines were definitely determ- 
ined upon; the land carefully sir- 
veyed and purchased by the govern- 
ment at a cost of $52.4(15.98. Con- 
Ifderate Avenue, 8.19 miles in length 
'follows the line of Confederate earth- 
I works. Union Avenue, -7.43 miles. 
follows the main trench of the Union 
Army. From the main gate of th? 
National Cemetery avenues bearin-^ 
the names of famous generals an'i 
I war notaibles intersect the 31. S^) 
miles of driveway. including n 
'bridges, area 1.322.63 acres. This is 
the .-statement for 1922. At the un- 
veiling of the imposing heroic Mas- 
n^ichusetts monument. the opening 
address was made by General Lee, 
one of the men. indomitable and 
ibrave, who had suffered rather than 
vi'-ld in the defense of A'ieksburL-, 
That was in November, 1903. There 
are now 681 memorials and monu- 
ments. 128 mounted gun.s. 898 tab- 
lets, one arch by the United States, 
14 by states, medallions, marker.s 
and guide boards seem almost 
countless. The Illinois Temple, clas- 
■■ic in design, 58 feet high and 48 
feet in diameter, recalls the struc- 
ture nf the Panthenn at Rome. 



It isn't the thing you do. dear; it's 

the thing you leave undone. 
Which gives a bit of heartache, at 

the setting of the sun. 
The tender word forgotten; the letter 

you did not write. 
The flower you might have sent. 

dear, are your haunting ghosts 

tonight.

XJethndisni was introduced into 
-Mi-sissippi by Kev. Tobias Gibson 
in 179'9. The cliurch was organized 
in Adams county during- the saint: 
year. The organizations tliat were 
ti'Iected ai that time are .«till in ex- 
istence, Washington, Kingston and 
Jefferson Sireet, Natchez. 

According to the best information 
oblainalble, the church was begun 
with the beginning of the town of 
Virlviiburg in 1820. The original lot 
for a chuich building. corn->r of 
Cherry and Grove .streets, was do- 
nated by Rev. John Lane, son-in- 
law of Rev. Newit Vick, the founder 



MtTTHODISM I.\ VICKSBl'RG 

Of \'icksburg. This lot fronted th- 
Court Houre and the building erect- 
ed on it was larg.ly provided for by 
Mr. Lone who made gi'"*-s of lumber 
and other material, in addition to 
collecting money for the same. 

The first preaching was done in a 
blacksmith shop btfore there was 
a church building or court houe?. 
Rev. John Lane was the first pastor. 

Prior to 1850, John W. VIck. so i 
of Rev. Xewit Vick, "th? proprietor 
of the town," gave the lot at the 
cornel' of Cherry and Crawfor.i 
streets, for a new church. Thi'? 
buihlin,? immediately preceded th ^ 
lirosent structure and was occupied 



1 y the congregation from about 1847 
to IDOO, slightly more than fifty 
years. The cost of thii historic 
oui.ding was about $2j,000.00, and 
was used by the U. S. Army during 
1863-'64-'G5. 

There arc two churches in this 
lity, the other, Gibson Memorial, sit- 
uated on Washington street. Th-: 
i^astor is Rev. T. B. Cottrell, in his 
j-cond year, and the church is grow- 
ing steadily. Nearly eleven hundred 
jieople belong to the two Methodii^t 
■.hurches, and it is comforting to be- 
:ieve that the labor of our hands is 
•iroEpering under the guidance of 
God.

This as.=ociation is the result of a

mittee to establish for the people of 
^■ickdburg and sarrounding country, 
fair and play grounds. The afisocia- 
tion was oiganized and funds o-il- 
lected and work begun in 1920. A 
7.) acre tract, admirabl.v adapted for 
the purpcs;' was secured by purch;iso 
and the as.i^ociation had develop.-d 
fine athletic fields which are inclos-

■IMi: SKCICSSION COXVIiXTlOX. 



The sketch of the secession con- 
vention contributed Iby Judge T.E. 
Woods — its youngest member — 'to 
.;ie state Historical Society paper.s 
conveys an idea of the character of 
us deliberations quite at odds witli 
tile natural impression. In a perio 1 
of convulsive popular excitement, 
the fateful wrench of the state from 
its national moorings was done with- 
out violence or turmoil of proceed- 
ings — not only sobriety and order 
but SdUmnity prevailed. When the 
tropical tornado approaches its 
dread climax, there is a subsidence of 
the wave crests, is a hushed pause 
in the roar and rush of the unchain- 
ed elements. Thus it seemed to be 
with the fateful act of seces.3ion — the 
passion which rode the gale was 
toned down by the awful consequen- 
tiality of the plunge — the convention 
insensibly touched by the shadow of 
the oncoming cloud, rising som'bre 
and lurid behind the distant horizon. 
"Over the entire convention," reads 
the sketch, "brooded a spirit of grav- 
ity and seriousnesii. There were no 
brilliant orations, and there was an 
absence of all rhetorical display and 
elocutionary flourish. The tremen- 
dou,3 resi)onsibility pressing upon the 
convention was seen on every coun- 
tenance. From Judge Wiley P. Har- 
ris, solitary, silent, introspective, and 
Mr. Lamar. . brooding, mjlancholy, 
and abstracted, downward through' 
all classes and ranks, was an air of 
fixed solemnity." The picture is om 
to be trea.3ured, tor its memorial re- 
flection. 

The foKowing point in the recol- 
lections of the writer is full of his- 
toric significaiice: 

"While the slavery agitation was 
the occasion of the war, it was not 
the cause. Nine-tenths of the men ' 
who fought the invaders of our soil 
were not slave-holders, and had no 
intereet in perpetuating that institu- 
tion. They fought, as th^ir slave- 
holding comrades fought, to repel 
an insolent and ruthless invader ot 
our homes and rights, with scarcely 
a thought of slavery in their mind.s. 
and with none whatever as an im- 
pelling cause." 

Judge Woods has. we are sure, 
over-stated his proportion of non- 
Elave-holders in army ranks. But he 
had a m.ue forceful illustration of 
his point :it hand. Th.» overwhelm- 
ing balance of political power in Mis- 
Ki:Sippi in 1860 was in the white 
counties — the basi/3 ot legislative ap- 
ixntionmeiu was white voters. The 
Conservatism of the state lay in the 
'black counties — ^mostly the oppon- 
ents of seces>:ion were from the river 
section. It was the majorities in th;" 
white counties that hurried the state 
"across the Ruibicon"- — dragging in 
their train Adams and Warren, 
AVashington and Coahoma. These 
facts signally refuted the future oft 
repeated taunt — that "it was a rich 
man's war and a poor man's fight." 



Tiic following summary of cou- 
.ention leaders will be read with in- 
.erest by the children of the genera- 
tion they inspired and guided: 

"It can be truthfully affirmed by 
ihi- youngest and most inconspicu- 
ou.s memfber of our secession con- 
vention that in learning, in ability, 
in patriotism and in nobility of in 
dividual character no such body had 
ever before, or has «ver i:ince, been 
assembled within our borders. In its 
membership the delegates to th 
;'nn\'ention may be said to have been 
truly representative ot the highest 
and best in the old Whig and Dem- 
ocratic parties. From the old Whis 
ranks, J. L. A'.corn, J. Shall Yerger. 
Walker Brooke, T. A. Marshall, 
George R. Clayton, Francis M. Rog 
■ers, J. Winchester, H. W. Walter an.l 
Chas. D. Fontaine, with many other.- 
not then so widely known, had bee 
chosen by the people without regard 
to former party affiliations. From 
-he old Democratic host, Wm. S. 
Barry, L. Q. C. Lamar, Wiley V. 
Harris. Henry T. EUett, A. M. Cla.v- 
ton, D. C. Glenn, Sam'l. J. Gholsor, 
J. Z. George, J. W. Clapp and J. .\ 
Orr, with a large number of other 
ifterwarde widely known, were like- 
wise chosen by Whig and Demo- 
cratic voters alike. 

The following further quotation 
from Judge Woods' sketch will not 
be found uninteresting by those who 
treasure the memories of a heroic, 
if calamitous, gathering in Missii^- 
sippi's council halls: 

"The two dramatic and thrillin'; 
incidents of the memorable occasion 
were introduced by Mr. Alcorn, of 
Coahoma, and by Mr. Walker Brooke 
of Warren — a man gr^at in appear- 
nce, bearing, in intellect and in 
speech. These gentlemen had bo-n 
ardently attached to that old Whia 
party of w'hich Henry Clay was su 
long a leader, and they were botli 
■strongly and passiounately attached 
to the Union. They had been sin- 
cerely desirous to avert any attempt 
to dissolve the Union by the separate 
and independent secession of Missis- 
■sipjii. Strongly and fervently they 
endeavored to enforce *heir views up- 
on the convention, but without avail. 
sinc,> the cause of Mississippi hai 
been practically determined at the 
polls. After their views, shared and 
upheld by other able and true men 
had been overwhelmingly rejected, 
and after the ordinance of seces.sion 
had been put upon its passage, both 
Mr. Alcorn and Mr. BrooKe made pa- 
triotic and touching reference to 
their course theretofore and to th> 
course which they should thence- 
forward pursue. Wh-n the name of 
Mr. Alcorn was called h? aros-:< 
amidst a filence that was almost 
painful in its intensity and with 
deep fmotion said: 

" 'Mr. President: I have thought 
that a different course in regard to 
the settlement of this great contro- 
ver<^y should have been adopted, 
and to that end I have labored and 



spoken. But the die is cast — the 
Rubicon is crossed — and I enlist m.e- 
self with the army that marches on 
Rome. I vote for the ordinance.' 

When Mr. Brooke's name was 
called he arose in hU place and said: 

"Mr. President: I was elected by a 
large majority cf what is known as 
co-operationists. which mi ans, as I 
understand it, one who was in favor 
of united Southern action for the 
purpose of demanding furth r guar- 
antees from the North, or, failing in 
that, the formation of a Southern 
Confederacy. I have, to the best oC 
my ability, endeavorded to carry oat 
the views of my constituents in thece 
respects. I have acted in good faith 
and with no desire to make a fac- 
tious opposition. I have faileEJ*. 

These last words were spoifen in 
a tone of infinite sadness and with 
bowed head. Then, recovering him- 
■self, he continued: 

" 'Influenced by considerations cf 
this character, which I now can.not 
more fully express, I feel it my du-.y. 
painful as it may be, to part from 
those with whom I have hitherto 
acted, to assume the responsi'oiut.v 
of casting at least one of the votes 
of Warren county for the passage cf 
the ordinance as reported. I vote 
aye.' 

'No one at fits dist.ir.ct: of .n /re 
than firty years from this ihril'm.g 
scene can imaijine the w-ave jf :iiief 
and joy that swept over the conven- 
tion and broke into invol'intary ap- 
plause upon that mo'rentotis occas- 
ion. This was the solitary .Iramatij 
burst ot eloquence and aplause, rio 
far as can now be recalled."

In the year 1835 there cime tn

Carolina. They were Drs. Benjam: 
I. Hioks, and brother, Joe H.. Mr. J<' 
Litll'Julin and Dr. Goodwin, a iihar-

selves wlih our cltizins. and setllea 
here. I^ater the Drs. Hieks married 
rlfters. They were the Misses Martha 
and Mary Cowan of Warren county. 
Mr. L,ittleJohn, first a clerk, later a 
commission merchant, married the 
slrtcr of the writer, Mi.ss Olivia Bland. 
Or. Goodwin rcmainded single. As 
far back a'S memory goes Ur. I?. L 
Hicks, was our belnved physician, 
and so continued until his d/ath by 
yellow fever In 1847. Other physi-

Henry. Jos. Hicks, and later his son

Old Presbytenun Church 



In 1S26, the citizens of the small 
t' v.-n of Vicksburg, feeling the neeu 
of religious instruction, a petition 
wa.i sent out liy twelve Presbyterians 
to prominent clergymen, to send 
them a minister. In response to tt:is 
call Rev. Zebulon Butler started in 
a fow weeks on horsebaclt from 
Philadelphia. arriving late in tiie 
Fall. He, with other pastors, labor- 
(.1 faithfully until 1831. When Rev. 
« « Robeits took charge. It was 
during his ministry that the church 
proper was organize 1. December 2Sth. 
\V?>?,. Previous to this a church had 
been incorporated by the legislature 
I'iid a building erected in 1831. From 
that time the congregation wor- 
shipped in the building, which was lo- 
cated on the corner of Monroe and 
First-East streets, where the Bodley 
monument also stood. In 1854 a 



commodious edifice was erected and 
■>3::'ip:ed for fifty years tn the sito 
now ownel by the Elks Club. Dur- 
ing the seige this church was usel 
•n the evening rs a rendezvous for 
i;hc young maidens with their chap- 
erones, many of the-n coming from 
han;'srmc homes on Fort Hill. Let- 
ters were often passed through the 
Iir.es from sweethearts far awav. 
Then tro. chances were taken of 
glimpses ?nl glances from the terri- 
b'e fold'ers in blue. Such snatche.s 
of conversati'-n could be heard ns 
groups cf girls and young widows 
sat upon the broad steps.: "How 
leautiful the bursting shells look 
after dark, and being st far oft to- 
night we can admire them." "Yes." 
inswerel a beau, "your little nephew 
thinks they are fireworks, a real 
show." "Not one," she said, "which I 
will take a seastn ticket."

< VV'E lilFK IX .\ND AROUND THE 
CITY 



Our hills served as bulwarks 
strong again-wt the foe; cotton bales 
were used to great advantage as bul- 
lets did not penetrate them. All of 
the eaves in the city have been grad- 
ed away except one on Clay street 
that is for inspection. In the north-- 
western part of the town was the 
largset one, dug in the highest hill. 
The entrance was In the form of an 
arched hallway, coming to a common 
center, which was curtained off. In 
this place my relatives sought safety. 
They carried comforts, provisions, 
everything that could be conveyed. 
Before nightfall shelling commenced, 
continuing through the foUovi'ing 



day. A young cousin of mine was 
buried when the mouth of the cave 
fell in. From the effects ot a lam-.' 
foot our rector, Dr. Lord, was in the 
cave. He cried out: "Come quick 
and help dig out a child." She wa-s 
gotten out and restored to conscious- 
ness by the use of restoratives, but 
she suffered for years from the ef- 
fects. Another cave was sought and 
a tent put up in front. Within this 
cave three hundred had planks laid 
down for beds. V. R.

fold one half over the other; moisten 
tops with sweet milk; la.v in greased 
, ans a little apart and bake in ratner 
hot oven. 



To be thrown upon our own re- 
sources is to be cast into the very 
lap of fortune, for our faculties then 
undergo a development, and display 
an energy of which they ii^^re pre- 
viously unsusceptible.

The Vicksburg Boy Scouts were 
first organized In 1910 by Messrs. E. 
H. ilagruder. C. M. Flanagan, Harry 
I'rlestly and Edgar Leyens. At this 
time there were nearly fifty boys In 
the Vlcksb rg Scout organization. 

In 1920 the Vicksburg Scouts were 
reorganized and a first class council 
was established. Mr. J. W. Garrett 
was president of the council. 

In 1921 there were five Scout 
troops in this city, organized by Mr. 
E. U. Brlen, Jr.. Vlcksburg's first
